Controlling Golden Retriever Shedding Product #1 – Cordless Vacuum
With a golden retriever, the key to controlling shedding is consistent vacuuming. The shedding will happen, but if you keep up with vacuuming, it is more manageable. One thing that makes this easier is a lighter, more accessible vacuum. The Dyson V8 is a game changer for daily vacuuming because it is lightweight, powerful and easy to use. Vacuuming the floors daily will do the trick, but for days where you’re looking for a deeper clean you can use the the hair screw tool to convert into a handheld vacuum and get the hair out of the couch.

A cordless vacuum is key because it makes the cleaning process faster and easier. The Dyson V8 is light, efficient and has multiple tools which makes for an easy transition into a handheld for your couch.
Controlling Golden Retriever Shedding Product #2 – Lint Rollers
Having a lint roller or two on hand around the house makes for a quick and easy clean-up throughout the day. I like the Trazon lint roller pack because they are really easy to use. With some lint rollers it is hard to tear the sheets but these are very simple and efficient. Included in the pack are 2 rollers and 3 extra refills. I like to leave one by the front door to use before leaving and another that can move from room to room as needed.

The Trazon lint roller pack is great because you get two rollers and three extra refills. The sheets are easy to tear and sticky enough to actually pick up the hair off of your clothes and fabric.
Controlling Golden Retriever Shedding Product #3 – Dryer Sheets
Another small change to a product you are likely already buying on a daily basis is switching to a pet-specific dryer sheet. Before switching to Bounce Pet Fresh dryer sheets I found hair remaining on my clothes and blankets after washing and drying. With a pet-specific dryer sheet I do find that it helps significantly reduce the hair that remains on clothes. Cleaning out the dryer lint trap is enough evidence to show the amount of hair accumulated from the fabric.

Controlling Golden Retriever Shedding Product #4 – Air Purifier
Unlike the previous products, the next item used for controlling golden retriever shedding is one that requires almost no action on a daily basis. An air purifier. The Levoit Pet air purifier is easy, quiet and effective. Not only does it purify the air of pet dander and pet hair, but it also helps eliminate odors too. The maintenance is also fairly minimal and the filter is easy to clean and replace.

Controlling Golden Retriever Shedding Product #5 – Pet Wipes
Admittedly, this is not a direct shedding-related product. However, general grooming and upkeep will help with shedding. These Pogi’s grooming wipes are my favorite natural, hypoallergenic wipes for cleaning up paws and fur on my golden retriever in-between baths. This also helps to avoid tracking in dirt after walks which requires more vacuuming.

After trying multiple wipes, these are my current favorite in effectiveness, scent and ingredients. They also last long, don’t dry up, and are a decent size.
